A university in the United Kingdom is so concerned about the fragile egos of its students that it has banned lecturers from using capital letters when assigning work.
Leeds Trinity released a memo to its staff regarding their students in which the university stated that uppercase letters might “scare them into failure.” In addition to that ruling, the memo also instructed the teachers to make sure their writing was friendly and eschewed overbearing and negative language.
PC will destroy you like Catholic Countereformation turned at the end of '500 Italy in a second class country (among other things)
wake up befor it gets too late
Stereotypical millennials always need to be rewarded for their accomplishments whether or not they actually accomplished anything. Now, one school is taking this to heart by banning red ink. At an academy in the U.K. county of Cornwall, teachers have been instructed not to grade papers in red pen because it is a “very negative color"

My last several years teaching (in the US) prior to retiring in 2014 we were under a "No Red Ink" advisory. Not exactly banned but there would be mentioned made in your evaluation.
When just the sight of Trumps name in chalk sent students to padded rooms I knew all the cries of schools being used to reorient kids was actually true.
The fact that a group like ANTIFA can claim to be anti-fascist while using fascist tactics (violence, destruction, rioting) is mind-boggling. I got a great laugh when I saw those morons holding flagpole spears and shields with "Love and Peace" painted on them.
Contradiction much?

Makes perfect sense when you think about the "everyone is a winner" philosophy they cling to so desperately.
Everyone is the same yet totally different. No difference between a man and a woman, yet Facebook now has 80 distinct sexual preferences to choose from.
Completely confused people trying to do their very best to confuse everyone else.
Ultor is correct, it's beyond something alright!
